Overview
Heading 3004 encompasses medicaments specifically prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic use, intended for human or animal treatment. This category includes products presented in measured doses, such as tablets, capsules, or injectables, and also those in forms suitable for direct retail sale, like creams or syrups. Importantly, transdermal administration systems, such as medicated patches, are also classified here. The core criteria for inclusion are the product's intended medicinal use and its presentation for ready application or dispensing.
This heading is distinguished from other headings within Chapter 30 by its focus on finished medicaments. For instance, it excludes raw pharmaceutical materials classified under headings like 2936 (Vitamins) or 2937 (Hormones), unless they are already incorporated into a medicament form. It also excludes specific categories like vaccines (3002), dressings and bandages (3005), and medical devices (3006), even if they contain medicinal substances.
The subcategories within 3004 further refine classification based on the active pharmaceutical ingredients present. These subdivisions allow for detailed identification of medicaments containing specific classes of drugs, such as antibiotics (including penicillins and streptomycins), hormones, alkaloids, or vitamins. Additionally, a specific provision exists for medicaments containing antimalarial active principles, and a general "Other" category captures all medicaments not specifically itemized.
